Maya AI · About
We built Maya because nobody says it out loud.
The Talent Games has spent more than a decade helping organisations improve candidate and employee experience. The same thing happened every time: the score arrived, the reason did not.
Maya AIWhat we kept seeing
A team scores badly and nobody can say why. Someone resigns and gives a reason nobody believes. A new starter leaves in month three and the form says "personal reasons". A restructure is announced and the silence afterwards gets read as agreement.
None of that is a data problem. It is a trust problem. People are not withholding the truth out of malice. They are protecting themselves, sensibly, because saying it plainly to another person costs something: a career, a reference, a relationship.
So we stopped trying to make people braver, and built something they would not need to be brave for.
Who is Maya AI
An independent listener, on purpose.
Maya is commissioned by the organisation and answers to nobody inside it. She has no opinion about anyone's performance, no role in any decision about them, and no reason to repeat a name. People tell her things they would not tell a person, and that is not a quirk of the technology. It is the point of it.
She talks on WhatsApp and by phone, in whatever language someone is most comfortable using, and she reports themes rather than people.
Calm
Maya never rushes an answer or pushes for a soundbite. She waits.
Discreet
She says what she will do with someone's words before they say any, and holds to it.
Intelligent
She follows the thread that matters, then reports the pattern rather than the person.
We are a world leader in AI interviews and gamified assessments. We run recruitment programs, engagement listening, exit sessions and leadership feedback for organisations that want more than a score, and Maya came out of that work rather than out of a lab.
Maya started with employee exits, where the gap between the polite answer and the real one is widest. She now listens at five moments in a working life: Maya Exit, Maya Engage, Maya Onboarding, Maya Career and Maya Transition. The engine underneath is the same one, so when the moment you need to understand is not on that list, it is usually a configuration rather than a build.

Leadership
“We created Maya AI after hearing the same pain point from organisations and HR teams again and again: people were not saying what they really felt. Maya gives them a trusted place to speak, so leaders can hear the truth and act on it.”
What we will not build
Maya is not a monitoring tool, and never will be.
What it looks like
A conversation on one side, evidence on the other.
Step 01
Maya arrives on Amna's phone
The moment Sarah registers Amna's resignation, Maya's pipeline begins. The next working morning at 9:05am, Amna receives a WhatsApp message from a contact named Maya.
Template message: the only format WhatsApp allows for first contact. The confidentiality guarantee is stated before a single question is asked.
Why WhatsApp
Most frontline workforces already live there. No app download. No corporate login. No barrier.
